How have stereotypes affected the way Spaniards view
themselves in Spain and abroad? How have these
stereotypes affected the way others view Spain, throughout the period we studied in class? What events have had a role in the development of micro- nationalisms (Catalonia, Basque Country, Galicia, etc.) in Spain? And how has the presence of micro-nationalisms in Spain impacted the country’s changing ideas about nation and other? Since the nineteenth century and up to the present, Spain has been heavily influenced by three pillars of power—the aristocracy, the church, and the military. How did these three pillars contribute to Spain’s intricate balance between tradition and modernity during that period? How have different forms of media (painting, print, film, photography, posters) been used to convey ideas about Spain from the nineteenth century to the present, from both within and beyond Spain?
